Unfortunately, “science” has been repealed.

Oh, definitely! I did a lot more behind-the-scenes stuff for years. Then again, no one would’ve dared suggest that I was ready to be appointed to the federal bench.

Thank you for this nightmare fuel.

And don’t think McConnell’s turtley beak isn’t involved in this shitshow of judicial nominees. I know that horribly unqualified nominees for the federal bench isn’t the sexiest news when Trump is tweeting nuclear taunts, but this stuff is going to haunt the country for decades, especially for those who would ever have…

Agree completely. Related question— what did any of these fine fellows actually DO at their firms, IF they actually did work at a law firm? When I got out of law school and joined the first firm I ever worked for, all of us “rookies” had done every one of the things this guy answered “no” to within the first year.…

Bring back asbestos!

I’m just wondering if she’s angry enough to DISH.

Me too, and I’ll admit I was pretty much dreading it. But it had to be done.

Thanks for pointing all that out; I wasn’t up to speed on all these other things. He seems indeed like an unlikely martyr. It’s just the lawyer part of my brain that kicks in and looks for the doom every time there’s any hint of the cultural needle budging.

My worry is that this “fake news” note will be the tip of the “me too” blowback.

Somewhere McConnell and Trump are trying to figure out a way to seat “Sassy” the horse in the US senate, Caligula-style.

Remember when it seemed like presidential elections were always boiling down to two or three counties somewhere in Ohio? That’s the way it feels like now with Senator Collins. Every day feels like a mood blog / horoscope about Senator Collins. I’m not going after her, it’s just sort of a weird shift in…

These are all good suggestions, and preferable to my guess, which was that it was “Bob” from Twin Peaks trying to escape from inside Bannon and the woodsmen kept stuffing Bob back inside him, again and again and again.

I have seen him use “hence” before; didn’t really figure 45 for an “ergo” or “Q.E.D.” sort of guy.

Sarah Huckabette will spin it this way: He’s sick of winning so much. So he decided to back two losers in Alabama. This is exactly what he planned to do all alo-

On this angle, I’m going to go waaaaaay out on a limb and guess that the FBI attorney Lisa Page will be the one who gets burned as a witch and gets 99% of the blame from Trump and FoxNews. Just watch.

It takes a survivalist mentality to be a blue guppy there. My mantra is: I’m rooting for Mississippi, rooting like hell; but I’m always, always going to bet against them ever doing the right thing.

Feel better soon. And I’m honestly surprised nobody on Breitbart has blamed the JEW LAWYER yet.

Same. Consider your post peer-reviewed.

You always have my home state, Mississippi, to kick around. Same, exactly the same. And all the decent people (understandably) flee the place as soon as humanly possible.
